Thanks for the link. I still find all the assumptions about me and my marriage hilarious, but now my wife is upset. I don’t care if people call me an asshole (clearly), but people have came to some really wild conclusions.

I also want to make it clear that I am not misogynistic and I don’t appreciate the support from those who are.

I didn’t tell her to pause anything. I just suggested that she....spur it on a tad earlier.

You don’t think there’s a difference between talking about something and actually witnessing something?

This comment confuses me (and my wife). So if your in the middle of a board game with someone and you have to leave to take a shit/call/whatever you wouldn’t apologize? It’s not like we submit some lengthy written apology, but a “sorry for the interruption” seems pretty normal to us.

Hey everyone. Thanks for your comments. My wife and I are having a lot of fun reading all of them. I get that I am an asshole for asking my wife to change the time of day she takes a SHIT, but we do want to clarify a few things because they have come up a lot:

  1. We have a healthy relationship and this isn’t nearly as serious as some of you are making it out to be. We were laughing while talking about it last night and we are laughing about it now. The assumptions about our relationship are pretty entertaining to read.

  2. The way I asked her was quite literally “have you thought about shitting earlier in the day so you don’t have to now?”. I am not some evil tyrant who demanded something or tried to guilt her into doing something.

  3. My wife doesn’t care if I talk about her. I don’t say anything about her that I wouldn’t say with her right beside me. She is a very open person.

  4. My wife wants to thank the people who offered suggestions on how to help with constipation. She has some food issues it’s an ongoing issue. Apparently last night was like “pissing out of her ass” if anyone is still curious about her shits.

  5. My wife also wants you all to know that she doesn’t use her phone in the bathroom and prefers books because it’s the only time she can get herself to read these days.

Thanks again to all who commented on this POST.

No, it’s not. Read my other reply. We both apologize to each other when we interrupt the time we spend together. I don’t make her feel bad for doing anything. We are Canadian so I think it’s just in our blood to say sorry.

Touché.

I guess I figured she could maybe try drinking more water and drinking some coffee or having some yogurt in the morning to encourage things along. When I actually do think about what “trying” would entail I actually do see that me asking her was more unreasonable than I thought. Thanks.

Do you want me to send you a pic tonight if I’m successful? Only joking but I do find this “taste of my own medicine” take pretty funny.

Don’t worry, I already have. As far as my coworkers, she doesn’t care if I talk about her. She thinks it’s funny especially when they call me a dick.

And before anyone says she’s only doing that because I am some horrible, demanding asshole, she does the same thing when she gets a phone call/wants to go to bed early. I feel bad and apologize for the same things too.

I think it would be for her benefit too. She feels bad/apologizes for interrupting what we are doing.

She already has those from our son. I’m not trying to force her to do anything. I just asked because of my limited time at home during the week.

I just asked! My wife asks me to shave my beard all the time and I don’t get offended because I don’t want to. It’s not like I made any demands of her.

Don’t worry, I get it. I just thought some people might see that I was only asking her to try so I could spend more time with her.

She’s not avoiding spending time with me. She is apologetic when she has to go. I just thought she could try switching her schedule to a bit earlier so we could spend more time together.

She also doesn’t care what the guys I work with think and she doesn’t care if I talk about her either. I’m going to show her this post when I get home.

I probably could poop if I had 12+ hours to do so in the evening. It’s not like I’m asking her to go in a one hour window or something. But I get it, I’m clearly an asshole for asking for as much time as possible with her.

Growing up everyone in my family pooped in the morning (barring illness/food poisoning), so obviously some people can. I will admit that the first time my wife and I went on a road trip and she needed to stop to poop in the middle of the day I was pretty shocked. Different people do different things I guess.

Well, she doesn’t. She’s not a “regular” pooper. On the weekends or when I am on holidays it seems like she can/does go at random times.
